Why do we need this Evangelical University and why is it Critical?
As
the only Christian institution of higher learning serving
French-speaking Central Africa, evangelization is included within the
daily curriculum. We have been equipping leaders who spread the Gospel,
and become self-supporting, negating the need for government subsidy
for public services. The University provides training in modern
agriculture, rural economics and animal husbandry, with the intent of
raising the standard of living for the poor.
What Are the Objectives?
Vocational,
social and technical training of the membership of member churches
through social, economic, health and educational activities and
services.
Provision of teaching with a view of developing the capacities and leadership skills required to face new challenges.
These
objectives reflect the response of the church in the face of unbearable
living conditions of the youth of Chad. The church also considers with
great concern, past failures in the educational system in the country,
resulting from inadequate policies, being implemented by the various
governments of Chad since independence in August, 1960.
The
day to day reality in the life of the population is overwhelming. The
Evangelical churches feel compelled to sustain and encourage any
necessary effort of survival that gives glory to God. Within the
framework of the Fellowship, they want to offer hope in Christ, an
alternative through spiritual, technical and vocational training to
face the implacable conditions of modern life. By so doing, the
churches want to face the challenge of hunger and self-reliance in
suggesting the opening of evangelical polytechnic in N'djamena, the
capital city, headed by Doctor Daniel Guelko and agricultural Institute
coupled with animal husbandry and rural economics in Moundou, headed by
Pastor Sem Miantoloum Beasnael.
We
receive support from some dear concerned friend donors from Holland,
and the United States of America. Their support has been materialized
in putting up two buildings on the Institute.
Since
the day it open its doors in 2001, several graduates are now operating
out in Chad. Some go abroad, that is in the neighboring African
countries to further their students they go to work with organization.
Below is the list of students by fields of training:
We
are always seeking brethren from Europe or America who can give us
their time by coming and teaching with us here in Moundou (Chad). So we
need:
All those who share in this approach to the ministry, by presenting God's love to the world.
All those who support efforts for survival, and spiritual renewal in sub-Saharan Africa.
All Mission organizations interested in spreading the message of God to the unreached.
All friends and supporters of the Institute.
Individual
Christians or philanthropists sharing in the vision to help us build
the campus of the Evangelical Polytechnic of Chad.
